Hey, 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.760 we got dynamite coming up tonight and a lot of 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:49.159 things a w related. There have been some hirings, there 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:53.760 have been some promotions. Tony Cohn did an interview with 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:58.080 Sports Grid talking about recent w w E changes, most 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:04.080 notably the retirement which was actually a resignation of Vince 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.520 McMahon and uh and we also got the full lineup 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:12.080 for the show tonight. Eight scheduled segments, including just added 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.960 a interview segment with John Moxley and You're not gonna 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.399 go wrong with in a interview segment with John Moxley. 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.240 So we'll talk about that as well as the raw 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:28.200 ratings for Monday Night, which man, I love. I love 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.240 posting ratings because then you can you can look through 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.160 my mentions and find out how he should mute and 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.680 or block. He has a fun day. We'll talk about that, 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:43.520 and uh, we got Connor McGregor getting a major movie role. 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.320 And we have got to the n x T Television report. 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.720 Now have you been watching Ron SmackDown. There have been 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.360 a fair number of noticeable changes on Ron's SmackDown. I 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.960 cannot say the same for n x T. The only 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.280 change it was visible to me at all on this 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:08.120 show is that they have turned Katana Chance and Caden 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.919 Carter back baby face. We've been watching the show less 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.120 several weeks. They've been acting very hellish but hundred percent 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.000 baby faces now. So we'll talk about that later on 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:19.680 as well. Lots to get into back in a moment. 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:46.600 Observer Live back on the show. Bright Over is here 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:51.760 Wrestling Observer Live like Simper BT also Wrestling Observer dot Com. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.760 I want to quickly talk about the raw number here 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.240 today because the show did very, very very well and 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.560 as bullish as I am on w w E. Everyone 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.840 went a little too nutty on Twitter about this number. 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.040 Here's deal, everybody, and it's probably gonna be the same 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:09.000 thing with n x T. Tonight. Raw had no commercials 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.280 in the first hour of the show. That is nine 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.079 of the reason the show did as well as it did, 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:20.320 So people losing their minds at Vince's gone, We're going 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.880 back to these now you had a you had a 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.040 commercial free first hour, and as a result of that, 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:31.120 our one did two point four three million viewers. They did. 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.679 Here's the good news. They did keep two point to 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.680 nine million of those fer hour two and one point 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.920 nine seven million for hour three, So if you're looking 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.280 for good news, I mean the good news is they 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:48.680 did an excellent job holding the audience over three hours, 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:53.440 So that's good. But you know, unless they're gonna do 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.160 a commercial free first hour every week, you are not 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.800 going to regularly be seeing, at least anytime soon, two 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.360 two million viewers every week for Raw and a point 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:07.560 six one in eighteen to forty nine, best number since WrestleMania, 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.119 which did a point six three. Obviously the day after 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.880 Summer Slam was a factor as well, so the number 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:21.680 was inflated, but they did do a a pretty good job, 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.880 especially that you know the third hour decline. They've had 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.720 some bad third hour declines. Two point three million to 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.200 two million is not that bad. It's still lost three 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:36.599 hud people. But I do believe that part of the 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.440 reason that they held those viewers, and it's it's actually 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:44.360 common sense. If you do a first hour with no commercials, 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.080 it does a huge number because people don't tune out 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.080 during the breaks. If you normally do a third hour 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.239 where in the last half hour there's about seven minutes 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.440 of wrestling and the rest is commercials and video packages, yeah, 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.040 that hour is gonna absolutely tank. They didn't do that 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.760 this time. They still like commercials in the third hour, 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:08.600 but that insufferable period where for thirty minutes it's entrance commercial, 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:13.440 entrance video package, entrance commercial. They didn't do that. So 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.400 I think that helped helped cause the third hour to 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.919 decline less than usual, but good number. It won't be 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:26.520 that good next week, but overall a positive. Now, who 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.360 were these people that filled your timeline with? Actually I 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:34.240 didn't I didn't even read any of the um any 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.680 of the comments. But but the way it works on Twitter, 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.159 I don't even know why I mentioned this before. So 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.120 if I post something and you know, a thousand people 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.240 write something, goofy, and my mentions for some reason, like 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.400 a dozen of those will just end up on my 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:52.240 normal uh when I go up to you know, check 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.600 my timeline. But it's it's like a random doesn't don't 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.920 even know why. But anyway, I was just scrolling through 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.640 today and oh, you know great number. Oh my god, 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.480 Hunter's gonna turn it. Oh this is no. It was 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.080 a commercial free first hour that was nine of the 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:10.080 reason and of course SummerSlam no angry a w Fans 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:15.960 were saying, this is all a craziness. But if you 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.159 watched n x T, they also had limited commercial breaks 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:24.760 they did, Yeah you didn't notice. I like this show 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.920 and I was like, god, this show is long. Yeah, 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.760 there were no commercials in the first half hour and 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.159 then they did some commercials, and I think the second 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.200 hour there was like a long period with no commercials, 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.520 like bro this staying forever to get through the show. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.960 So I'm not a fan of limited commercial interruptions. I 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.680 want as many commercial interruptions as possible so I can 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:51.560 fast forward through them, preferably not during matches. A little man, 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.839 they did a commercial. I'll get to an x T later, 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.480 but I think it was what match was it? They 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.920 did a commercial break and they came back during the match, 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.320 and literally the first thing we saw was a botch spot. 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:09.080 Many rose and say the match started during a commercial, 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.120 and so they come back from the commercial and the 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.920 first move you see is Sarai is coming off the 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.640 top and I guess, I don't know if Manny was 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:20.760 supposed to catcher or what, but Sarai hit Mandy and 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:25.120 fell down, and then Mandy stumbled and fell down. That 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.680 was the first spot that we saw when we came 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.160 back from the break. So we'll talk about that later. 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.520 A Double announced on Wednesday they are expanding their talent 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:39.880 relations team, promoting four familiar names within that group and 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:44.160 bringing on former Impact women's wrestler Madison Rain as a 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:49.240 coach for the women's division. Rain begins her new role tonight, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.480 thirty six years old, part of the Impacts lasted of 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.960 tapings in Louisville. She lost to Musha Slamovic and miaum 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.560 uh Sanjay, qt at Buck, and Tony Shavonni have all 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.880 received promotions, three of which are to the vice president 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:09.560 level that is now the VP of Production and Creative Coordination, 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.040 where he will coordinate communication of a w storylines, liaise 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.280 between post production and key staff. That's a lot of words. 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.720 He got a promotion. He's gonna go back and forth 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.040 the stuff describe as liaise en Roll. Marshall is now 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.400 VP of Show and Creative Coordination. He does a lot 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.720 of words as well. Buck is now VP of Talent Development, 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.080 where he also a lot of liaising going on. Apparently 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.800 you make more money to liaise. I was unaware of 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.120 that today. Yes, you do. You are very valuable when 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.280 you can be the sav between wounds and such. Shavanni 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.640 received a promotion as Senior Producer and Special Advisor to Talent. 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:56.160 Chris Daniels will continue to serve as Manager of Talent Relations. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.120 To announce any of those did they mean to? Did no? 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.560 Did they need to? It's not like they're a publicly 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:07.000 traded company or anything like this. I understand why if 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:08.600 there's a part of me where it's like all you 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:12.600 did was give everybody online, if something happens somebody else 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.720 to tag about, what are you gonna do about this? 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.199 When it comes to your role of this and that 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.240 it's like I don't know. I guess it's a good thing. 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.520 Though if you look at it from the aspect of 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.760 he's obviously trying to delegate authority. I would assume that's 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.559 what this is about and try to make things a 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.920 little bit easier on himself, considering he's the last call 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:39.240 for these sorts of things. So yeah, Tony kNN believes 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.400 that new people in charge of w w E is 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.400 a good thing. Well, we're on the same page. N 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.640 spoke to Sports Grid on the recent changes. He said, quote, 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.640 it's going to change the competition, but I think that's 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.600 a good thing. A w has got a big fan base. 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.920 We're a hundred thirty countries now around the world. Here 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.760 in the US, we've built a great fan base. That 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.520 petition is going to change. It's a different person in 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.320 the chair opposite me. But I don't think that's going 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.120 to be a bad thing for the wrestling fans necessarily. Well, 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.160 it's definitely not a bad thing for the wrestling fans, 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.600 and you know what else, not a bad thing for 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:17.240 the wrestlers either. Con also said the move benefits wrestlers themselves, 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:19.839 probably more so than ever. He said, I imagine that 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.400 great wrestlers are going to be in demand again. I 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.400 think it's probably gonna be good for the wrestling fans 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.760 because that's going to be one of the most exciting 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.480 things about pro wrestling free agency. It's one of those 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.439 things that was really missing from the sport for almost 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.120 two decades. For a w came in because there was 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.040 not a legitimate competitor in the free market. Was one 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:38.840 of the worst things I think that happened in American 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.720 sports in my lifetime when WCW closed down, well, in 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:47.320 terms of wrestling, sure as heck, was one of the 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:53.120 worst things. So you know my my prediction very quickly, 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.960 you know, my Mike, in the in the short term, 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.760 there's gonna be some it's gonna be a bumpy road 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:06.640 for a w because you know, w has got money 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.960 and they're going to be looking to get some people. 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.400 And I think that and I know this, this is 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.520 not I think because I know this. You know, there 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.240 are a lot of people that two weeks ago would 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.880 not have been considering strongly going to w w E, 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:28.559 whereas now I think that they are open to the idea. 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:33.679 And furthermore, I mean we've seen small changes, small positive changes. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:38.080 If these if we continue to see positive changes. The 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.959 number of people that are willing to look at w 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.680 w E is going to be even bigger, and the 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.439 number of people that are at least considering it, uh, 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.600 they may more than consider it. So uh, you know, 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.199 the Cody thing was very important. As we talked about 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.440 Cody goes there, it gets buried, that would have been 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.839 bad times. They pushed Cody to the moon. That opened 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.960 a lot of people's eyes. And but mostly the people 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.120 that were like bigger, you know, the w w E 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.200 style guys. Now, even if you're not a w w 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.720 E style guy, I mean, you could get an opportunity. 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.200 So it's gonna be tough in the short term for 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.920 a w but in the long term there's gonna be 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.360 too many people in too few spots in a W 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.720 or in w w E, and then there will be 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.920 people looking to go to a w if they've got 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.800 a good television deal with money. So anyway back in 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:40.439 a moment, we'll get Mike's thoughts. Observer Live. Actually the 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:45.000 show bright Over is here, Wrestling the Observer Live. I'm 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.080 just I'm just we have our chat here and uh, 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:53.240 some of them just cannot Cody things overblown. Listen do 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.880 you think people are dumb? Okay, a guy left a W. 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:01.280 He walked into w W E with likely a seven 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.840 figure deal as a main eventor with his a W 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.320 character and got to push. You're telling me you don't 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:11.480 think anybody in a W went Wow, that's intriguing. That 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.800 really opens my eyes there. Well, I can tell you 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.120 because I heard from them. Okay, but you know, if 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.640 you don't believe me, you can use your own brain 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.760 and see that that would be intriguing for people, especially 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.520 because before he showed up, remember we here, Oh he'll 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.320 be chasing seven title. Oh I wonder if he'll be 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.959 star dust? Remember all that? Well that didn't happen at all. 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:35.080 The exact opposite happen, even kept his music. You don't 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.040 think that opened anybody's eyes. Do you think these people 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:42.600 are dumb? Come on, it did. Now It's not the 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.440 end all and be all, because he is Cody Rhodes, 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.359 and he was there before, and there is a relationship 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.160 and he is the first guy back, and so there's 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.560 all these things where what works for one may not 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:59.760 work for everybody. But it's a new page is turned. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.560 And I know people don't want to hear that. They 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.840 don't want to hear about these changes that may or 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.400 may not slowly get made and all that other stuff. 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.160 I know they don't want to hear about it, but tough, 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.880 You're probably gonna have to hear about it, because I'm 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.560 sure they do in the next couple of years want 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.000 to put their best foot forward when it comes to 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.680 talking and dealing with talent number one, for all of 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.760 the things that have happened in that company and the 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.440 culture that is currently being investigated, maybe it's time to, like, 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:31.840 you know, change some things there. But also because they 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.920 look at m JF and they look at other people 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.600 on that roster powerhouse Hobbs, and they look at other 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.720 people and they go, we may want to have those folks. 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.400 And now Vince is out of the way, and now 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.880 Uncle Paul is here. You remember what Uncle Paul did 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.840 for n x D. So are we gonna see massive 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.000 wholesale changes? I don't know, as see him Punk City, 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:55.880 he doesn't think there's going to be any changes in 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.800 the culture whatsoever. We'll have to see. But the Cody 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.880 odes the whole deal with him. And granted he also 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.560 has a character that fits perfectly in with W W 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.320 E and I think m JF. There's other people that do. 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.840 Some other people may not be so lucky, but it 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:17.120 at least is giving them an option where in a 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.480 big option that you may have something to kind of, 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:25.360 you know, compare yourself against compare the company you're working for. Again. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:31.480 So look, everybody's gonna throw their flags down over this, 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.080 and they have been and they will continue to do so. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.680 But one thing about talking about the death of w 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:39.840 c W as somebody that was a big n W 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.960 A fan and grew up with Crockett Promotions and was 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.960 a bigger w c W fan for quite a long time, 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.680 and try to hold onto that ghost for as long 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:53.000 as I could. Yeah, it was bad for the wrestling 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.880 business that it died, but it needed to die like 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.360 it did. And in the hindsight, being all as many 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.600 years later, you look, you gotta leave scorched earth. Was 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:06.000 the whole thing about killing a territory was you left 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.240 scorched earth in most cases, and you had to kill 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.760 everything to rebuild it back up again. And you see 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.040 the direction that Ring of Honor took things you saw 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.920 because there were no options, but ways to watch things 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.200 became easier, you know, lime, Well, I heard all these 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.560 things of where you would download Japanese wrestling shows and 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.640 that became more of a thing. So all of that, 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.080 the rise of m M A that was taking place 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.600 during that time that nobody really remembers now, but the 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.280 Pride in the k One and all that sort of, 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.720 all of that stuff, all of it was essential and 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.720 necessary to get us to where we are today. So 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.520 as sad as that was, and as much as it 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.960 sucked for a lot of people, including people that lost 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.200 jobs who had lifetime jobs in the business and wanted 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.200 to have jobs in the business, yeah that was sad, 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.080 but it needed to be done to get us to 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.760 where we are now. All right. We got the Dynamite 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.680 Show Tonight, un Disputed Elite Return, thunder Rose and Tony 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.480 Storm versus Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter, A Christian versus 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:10.320 Matt Hardy, Powerhouse Hobbs in Action, Jericho versus Wheeler, Utah 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.320 Winter faces Moxie for the Inner World title at Quake 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:18.680 by the Lake on August, Come on, what we should 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:23.720 actually want You by the Lake shows. I just don't 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.959 understand why they name every show. I understand it if 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.360 it's a charity event or something like that. But it's 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.320 like we have subtitles for every show. Now, it's not 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:36.240 just show. There's no there's no special show tonight, it's 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:41.000 just Dynamite. We're building to Quake by the Lake. I 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.880 guess we are, Yes, we are. You want to run 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:45.840 a pay per view every month? I don't. I'd much 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.280 rather have three. I don't want to every other show 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.639 for no reason, even on every other show, bro n 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:53.520 XT does the same thing. They got heat Wave in 0:17:53.520 --> 0:18:02.240 two weeks. Mr uh whatever. The name of your podcast 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:06.439 is the other one you do, Adam Milt. You like 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:10.280 New Japan, I like it's funny every single solitary New 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.440 Japan Strong show has a name, every single solitary one 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.160 of them, not every other week, not once a month. 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:25.840 It's ignition, it's retribution, it's fascination. It's my stupid goofy 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.760 names to have for these things. Ever ever thought, by 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.200 the way that that it's run by an analytics guy 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.560 who probably uh sees that when you actually name it 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.520 a special name, it does better than you know e 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.359 that that. So if it does better, why doesn't he 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.800 do every show that way? Maybe he could title Rampage 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.800 that way and more people you know what, if Christmas 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:46.919 is special, let's just do it every day. It'll be 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.479 special every day. I'm trying to give you a business 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:54.840 lesson here. Oh yeah, let me know. Are you trying? 0:18:54.880 --> 0:19:00.520 But you're not listening? USD star Connor mc gregor said 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:05.160 for his first movie role, Amazon Studios announced Wednesday, McGregor 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:09.720 will be playing a role in Prime videos reimagining of 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:14.720 the film Roadhouse. I'm Angry. The movie will begin production 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:16.879 this month, will be available on Amazon Prime Video when 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.040 it's released. He could watch it then get angry maybe 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.760 to be better. Don't know. Most of these remakes are 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.320 not better. These reimaginations of things just never seemed to 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.600 work out for me. Okay, in Roadhouse, why do you? 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.840 Why do you defecate on the classics? People? You funny 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.040 about this? By the way, you know it's funny. What 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:39.359 Jake Gillen Hall or Jillen Hall, depending on how you 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.960 want to pronounce it. Uh, you know what he plays 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.919 in this Roadhouse? Who? He plays? A former UFC fighter. 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:51.240 Butconor McGregor's got another role. I guess he's I guess 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:55.960 he could be a former. Yeah, you'll probably play the 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.640 role that Rohnda Rousey played, which he made remade Roadhouse. 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.520 You know they've remade this before, don't you? Did they 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:06.280 actually remade this with Rohonda Rousey? Where have you been? Bro? Well? 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.080 How was it? I didn't watch it. I haven't even 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.560 seen the first one. That doesn't surprise me. You should 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:14.159 have got better things to do, like watch n x 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:19.600 T two point oh and Tuesday Nights. Yeah, think about 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.840 subtitles for the Brian and Vinnie Show. Connor McGregor is 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:26.600 very excited to expand his storied career to Hollywood in 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:32.320 this reimagining of Roadhouse, A beloved classic god person Karen 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.879 Kessler Pop proper twelve bottles are gonna be getting thrown 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:39.400 everywhere in this, isn't it? Well? Probably maybe he'll work 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.840 for free if they do that, because he's a businessman. 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.399 Oh yeah, I'm sure. The only way he's working for 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:46.960 free is if it's on work release. Again. The only 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:49.399 thing I want to know is who plays Morgan? Who 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.520 plays Terry Funk? And will Terry Funk be in this movie? 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.760 Probably be McGregor. I need Terry Funk in this movie, 0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.040 even if it's just one cameo. You go to his house, 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:01.479 You just show up there put the camera on him. 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:03.320 I don't care how you do it.

I'm not 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.600 making fun of him. I'm pointing out. I'm pointing out 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:19.200 if if you, if you own okay, if you own 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:23.359 a distillery or whatever whatever, you would say that he 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:28.760 owns for his proper twelve And they say, listen, uh, 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:31.959 you do this role for us, and we'll have proper 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:35.240 twelve all over this movie.

Uh 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:55.040 for his first ever movie. You think this guy's making 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.400 twenty million for this movie? Not a chance, not a chance. 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:03.359 What do you think he is? The Rock? No, the 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:09.199 Rock didn't have anything that many legal bills. Yeah, I 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:12.320 mean he doesn't me does not know do not have 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:18.639 that many legal bills. That's true. Oh my god, a 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:21.520 million dollar Chico, twelve million dollars. Baby, I've worked for 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:25.080 free before. Actually we're for free on these cameos. But 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:30.800 you know everything, every little bit counts when when some 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.240 of that going to trickle down, it doesn't trickle down, Mike, Yeah, 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:35.880 I'm willing to work for it.

Wait, didn't you laugh at the thought of 0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:48.520 me doing a cameo, including directly saying who would actually 0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:50.919 buy a cameo? Never do that? But you know what, 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:52.720 if I get a cut, I'll set up your cameo 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:57.360 for free, because it's sometimes I'll gladly cut you.

But let's seeing the text message've been here 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:06.040 very quickly. Oh, this person is talking about the draft. 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:07.600 It's a good question what are THEYNNA do with this 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:11.720 draft and brand extension? Because Vince pretty much gave up 0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:14.760 on it. But Hunter's back and they didn't have you know, 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:17.680 there were I guess there were some SmackDown guys. Well, 0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:23.280 the fall seasons coming you know September October, here one 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:25.680 new thing on n x T last night, the intro 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:27.800 to wrestler and went to picture and picture intro the 0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:30.359 second wrestler and started the match also in picture and picture. 0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:32.720 Let's do more of that, put the less important stuff 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:36.200 during the commercials. Well, that was a slight production change, 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:39.760 but I don't know. They also, you know, they had 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:41.119 to do a lot of commercials because they did a 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:43.480 commercial free half hour. This stuff all has to be 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:47.320
